It’s the time of year where we ask you, our readers, to share your fall foliage photos with us!
From Oct 9: Colorful peak foliage is making its way out of the higher elevations of the Adirondacks and into its outlying areas, while gorgeous peak foliage expands throughout much of the northern Catskills. Peak foliage will also arrive in the southwestern portion of the Finger Lakes and much of the southern portion of the Chautauqua-Allegheny region. Leaves in other parts of Upstate New York will generally range from midpoint of change to near-peak, and will still be in the early stages of transition in the lower Hudson Valley, throughout New York City and on Long Island. This is according to the field reports from more than 85 volunteer observers for the Empire State Development Division of Tourism’s I LOVE NY program.
From Sept. 19: According to I Love NY’s weekly fall foliage report, several parts of the Adirondacks expected to be at midpoint of change this weekend. One example from the report: A predicted 50-55% change in the Tupper Lake and Mt. Arab areas, “with above average shades of apricot, tangerine, buttercup, canary, maize, rhubarb and cerise. The unseasonably warm days and cool nights are transitioning the leaves with vigor and intensity providing a panoramic foliage spectacle.”
